They can't move their antenna towards Boston because they would be
short-spaced to a 101.5 station in Providence (the former WLKW-FM, I
forget what it's called these days). 

FM mono is about 20 dB less noisy than FM stereo.  Also, eliminating the
stereo subchannel dramatically reduces multipath problems.
